the biblical narrative of a shower of quail (Numbers XI, 31) — в Библии о «дожде» из перепелов повествуется в Числах — одной из пяти хроникально-законодательных книг Ветхого завета (Пятикнижия), приписываемых пророку Моисею: 11:31 «И поднялся ветер от Господа, и принес от моря перепелов, и набросал их около стана, на путь дня по одну сторону и на путь дня по другую сторону около стана, на два почти локтя от земли». "And there went forth a wind from the Lord, and brought quails from the sea, and let them fall by the camp, as it were a day's journey on this side, and as it were a day's journey on the other side, round about the camp, and as it were two cubits high upon the face of the earth."Англо-русский универсальный дополнительный практический переводческий словарь И.

42 the jungle law
закон джунглей, беззакониеThe colonizing powers passing beyond smuggling and piracy in their murderous rivalries, engaged in many fullscale wars to seize rich colonies from one another. The law of the jungle prevailed in their colonial relationships and victory went to the strongest. (W. Foster, ‘Outline Political History of the Americas’, book I, ch. VII) — В своем ожесточенном соперничестве колониальные державы не ограничивались контрабандой и пиратством: они часто вели настоящие войны, стремясь отнять друг у друга богатые колонии. В их взаимоотношениях господствовал закон джунглей - колонии, доставались сильнейшему.
